GRGR1: Pirate as Priest

[RICHARD ROMEO]

I think I've mentioned this before but I always think of Pirate's banana 
breakfast as a parallel to the Christian Mass, Pirate as priest, 
Christ-like at least in this guise.  Bananas I think most here would 
affirm are symbols of good-good stuff.  Pirate, also, for the most part 
he seems quite like one of the good guys.

Can Pirate be dreaming Gottfried's entry to the other world, They making 
the statement through Pirate that even after death they are not defeated 
(for those who would tell death to fuck off?)  Of course you have to 
finish the book before this makes any sense.
